Indira Gil

Indira Gil is a Lecturer in Education at Brown University with a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction in Mathematics from Florida International University. Her work focuses on equity in education, particularly addressing systemic inequities related to race, gender, sexuality, ability, and language through mathematics education. She emphasizes community engagement, notably through the Brown Summer High School (BSHS) program, where she collaborates with teachers and graduate students to develop equity-centered curricula.

Her research interests include mathematics teacher preparation, teacher effectiveness, and the application of social justice frameworks in STEM education. Dr. Gil's teaching spans middle school, high school, and college levels, consistently integrating culturally responsive pedagogy and problem-based learning to foster inclusive math identities.

Leveraging partnerships with local schools, her projects annually explore themes such as using mathematics to analyze social inequities or designing games through mathematical principles. Though no specific awards or recent publications are listed, her work prioritizes transformative educational practices that challenge existing narratives perpetuating disparities.
